CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. ProvisionalApplication Ser. No. 61/221,255, filed Jun. 29, 2009, the entirecontents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to a novel composition which ishydrating and refreshing in cream form, which also has excellent longwearing properties.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many compositions, especially cosmetic compositions, have been developedfor easy and comfortable application onto a targeted substrate.Unfortunately, many of these compositions are in fact difficult to applyand do not possess a smooth feel upon application. Moreover,compositions often have a tendency to feel tacky, yielding poorapplication and spreadability characteristics. Similarly, the use ofsilicone resins to impart transfer resistance onto a colored cosmeticproduct suffers from the same disadvantages disclosed above. Therefore,it is desirable to provide a composition capable of possessing a creamytexture and feel with highly moisturizing and long wearing propertieswithout the need for having to use expensive ingredients and/orprocessing techniques.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a compositionthat includes: (a) at least one sugar silicone surfactant; (b) at leastone oil-soluble polar modified polymer; (c) at least one hyperbranchedpolyol; (d) at least one polyamine; (e) at least one gelling agent; and(f) water.

The present invention also relates to compositions which include: (a) areaction product of at least one polyamine and/or hyperbranched polyolwith at least one oil-soluble polar modified polymer; (b) at least onesugar silicone surfactant; (c) at least one gelling agent; and (d)water. The present invention also relates to a composition made bycombining: (a) at least one sugar silicone surfactant; (b) at least oneoil-soluble polar modified polymer; (c) at least one hyperbranchedpolyol; (d) at least one polyamine; (e) at least one gelling agent; and(f) water.

A second aspect of the present invention is directed to a method ofmaking up a keratinous substrate comprising applying the above-disclosedcomposition onto the substrate. It has been surprisingly discovered thatthis composition displays a high amount of moisturization to thekeratinous substrate and is longwearing in the absence of siliconeresins and traditional film formers. Further, the composition provides aunique texture and is stable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, allnumbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditionsare to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term“about”.

“Film former” or “film forming agent” or “film forming resin” as usedherein means a polymer which, after dissolution in at least one solvent(such as, for example, water and organic solvents), leaves a film on thesubstrate to which it is applied, for example, once the at least onesolvent evaporates, absorbs and/or dissipates on the substrate.

“Tackiness”, as used herein, refers to the adhesion between twosubstances. For example, the more tackiness there is between twosubstances, the more adhesion there is between the substances.

“Keratinous substrates”, as used herein, include but are not limited to,skin, lips, hair and nails.

“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent.Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygenatoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxylgroups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylenegroups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups,acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups,thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups,and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.

As defined herein, stability is tested by placing the composition in acontrolled environment chamber for 8 weeks at 25 C. In this test, thephysical condition of the sample is inspected as it is placed in thechamber. The sample is then inspected again at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week,2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. At each inspection, the sample is examinedfor abnormalities in the composition such as phase separation if thecomposition is in the form of an emulsion, bending or leaning if thecomposition is in stick form, melting, or syneresis (or sweating). Thestability is further tested by repeating the 8-week test at 37° C., 40°C., 45° C., 50° C., and under freeze-thaw conditions. A composition isconsidered to lack stability if in any of these tests an abnormalitythat impedes functioning of the composition is observed. The skilledartisan will readily recognize an abnormality that impedes functioningof a composition based on the intended application.

“Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less thanabout 100° C. “Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash pointof greater than about 100° C.

As used herein, the expression “at least one” means one or more and thusincludes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, allnumbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditionsare to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term“about,” meaning within 10% to 15% of the indicated number.

“Waterproof” as used herein refers to the ability to repel water andpermanence with respect to water. Waterproof properties may be evaluatedby any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. Forexample, a mascara composition may be applied to false eyelashes, whichmay then be placed in water for a certain amount of time, such as, forexample, 20 minutes. Upon expiration of the pre-ascertained amount oftime, the false eyelashes may be removed from the water and passed overa material, such as, for example, a sheet of paper. The extent ofresidue left on the material may then be evaluated and compared withother compositions, such as, for example, commercially availablecompositions.

Similarly, for example, a composition may be applied to skin, and theskin may be submerged in water for a certain amount of time. The amountof composition remaining on the skin after the pre-ascertained amount oftime may then be evaluated and compared. For example, a composition maybe waterproof if a majority of the product is left on the wearer, e.g.,eyelashes, skin, etc. In a preferred embodiment of the presentinvention, little or no composition is transferred from the wearer.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein, refers to compositions wherecolor remains the same or substantially the same as at the time ofapplication, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period oftime. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in theart for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may beevaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to humanhair, skin or lips and evaluating the color of the composition after anextended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may beevaluated immediately following application to hair, skin or lips andthese characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after acertain amount of time.

Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to othercompositions, such as commercially available compositions.

“Transfer resistance” as used herein refers to the quality exhibited bycompositions that are not readily removed by contact with anothermaterial, such as, for example, a glass, an item of clothing or theskin, for example, when eating or drinking. Transfer resistance may beevaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such. Forexample, transfer resistance of a composition may be evaluated by a“kiss” test. The “kiss” test may involve application of the compositionto human keratin material such as hair, skin or lips followed by rubbinga material, for example, a sheet of paper, against the hair, skin orlips after expiration of a certain amount of time following application,such as 2 minutes after application. Similarly, transfer resistance of acomposition may be evaluated by the amount of product transferred from awearer to any other substrate, such as transfer from the hair, skin orlips of an individual to a collar when putting on clothing after theexpiration of a certain amount of time following application of thecomposition to the hair, skin or lips. The amount of compositiontransferred to the substrate (e.g., collar, or paper) may then beevaluated and compared. For example, a composition may be transferresistant if a majority of the product is left on the wearer's hair,skin or lips. Further, the amount transferred may be compared with thattransferred by other compositions, such as commercially availablecompositions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, littleor no composition is transferred to the substrate from the hair, skin orlips.

Hyperbranched polyols can generally be described asthree-dimensional highly branched molecules having a tree-likestructure. They are characterized by a great number of end groups, atleast two of which are hydroxyl groups. The dendritic or “tree-like”structure preferably shows regular symmetric branching from a centralmultifunctional core molecule leading to a compact globular orquasi-globular structure with a large number of end groups per molecule.Suitable examples of hyperbranched polyols can be found in U.S. Pat.

Other suitable examples include alcohol functional olefinicpolymers such as those available from New Phase Technologies. Dendrimerstend to be exact, monodisperse structures built layerwise (ingenerations) around a core moiety, with a polymer branching point inevery repeating unit.

Furthermore, “hyperbranched polymers” refers to polymers comprising atleast two, for example three, polymeric branches, forming either themain branch or a secondary branch, and each comprising at least one atleast trifunctional branch point, which may be identical or different,and which is able to form at least two at least trifunctional branchpoints, different from and independent of one another. Each branch pointmay be, for example, arranged in the interior of at least one chain. Thebranches may be, for example, connected to one another by apolyfunctional compound.

As used herein, “trifunctional branch point” means the junction pointbetween three polymer branches, of which at least two branches may bedifferent in chemical constitution and/or structure. For example,certain branches may be hydrophilic, i.e. may predominantly containhydrophilic monomers, and other branches may be hydrophobic, i.e., maypredominantly contain hydrophobic monomers. Further branches mayadditionally form a random polymer or a block polymer.

As used herein, “at least trifunctional branch” means the junctionpoints between at least three polymeric branches, for example npolymeric branches, of which n−1 branches at least are different inchemical constitution and/or structure.

As used herein, “chain interior” means the atoms situated within thepolymeric chain, to the exclusion of the atoms forming the two ends ofthis chain.

As used herein, “main branch” means the branch or polymeric sequencecomprising the greatest percentage by weight of monomer(s).

Branches which are not main branches are called “secondary branches”.

According to particularly preferred embodiments of the presentinvention, the hyperbranched polyol comprises a hydrophobic chaininterior. Preferably, the chain interior comprises one or morehydrocarbon groups, one or more silicon-based groups, or mixturesthereof. Particularly preferred chain interiors comprise olefinicpolymers or copolymers and/or silicone polymers or copolymers.

Preferably, the weight ratio of polyol to oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is between 4:1 and 1:4, preferably between 3:1 and 1:3, andpreferably between 2:1 and 1:2, including all ranges and subrangestherebetween.

According to preferred embodiments, the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is in an oil carrier, and the polyol is blended into the oilcarrier during production of the compositions of the present invention.Because the oil-soluble polar modified polymer is typically solid atroom temperature, the oil carrier is preferably heated to liquefy thewax prior to combination with the polyol. Preferably, the oil carrier isheated beyond the melting point of the Oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer, typically up to about 70° C., 80° C., 90° C., 100° C. or 110°C. Then, the polar modified wax is preferably combined with the polyolthrough blending at room temperature or at a slightly elevatedtemperature (that is, at a temperature between room temperature and thetemperature at which the polar modified wax was liquefied or melted)such as, for example, about 30° C., 40° C., 50° C., 60° C. or 70° C.,for at least about 30 minutes.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the polyol canbe in an aqueous carrier, and the polar modified wax can be combinedwith the polyol by combining the oil carrier with the aqueous carrier.According to other embodiments, the polyol does not have to be in anaqueous carrier—the polyol can be added to the oil carrier first, andthen water can be subsequently added to the mixture.

Preferably, the gelling agent is present in the composition of thepresent invention in an amount ranging from about 0.1% to about 10.0% byweight, preferably from about 0.5% to about 5.0% by weight, preferablyfrom about 1.0% to about 4.0% by weight of the total weight of thecomposition, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

Reaction Product

According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, theoil-soluble polar modified polymer is reacted with the polyaminecompound, in the presence of water in, at minimum, an amount sufficientto solubilize the polyamine, to form a reaction product. In accordancewith the preferred embodiments, the reaction product is water-insoluble.

Although not wanting to be bound by any particular theory, it isbelieved that at a temperature below 100° C., the reaction of theoil-soluble polar modified polymer with the primary amine group of thepolyamine opens the anhydride ring to form a half acid and half amidecrosslinked product. However, at a temperature above 100° C., thereaction of the oil-soluble polar modified polymer with the primaryamine group of the polyamine opens the anhydride ring to form an imidecrosslinked product. The former product is preferred over the latterproduct. It is not necessary for all amine groups and all hydrophilicgroups to react with each other to form the reaction product. Rather, itis possible that the composition may contain free polyamine and/or freeoil-soluble polar modified polymer in addition to the reaction product.

Although not wanting to be bound by any particular theory, it is alsobelieved that the polyamine(s) can be non-covalently assembled with thepolar modified polymer(s) by electrostatic interaction between an aminegroup of the polyamine and a hydrophilic group (for example, carboxylicacid group associated with maleic anhydride groups) of the polarmodified polymer to form a supramolecule. For example, with specificreference to maleic anhydride groups, in the presence of water thesegroups can open to form dicarboxylic acid groups which can interact withprotonated primary amines of the polyamine through ionic interaction toform a polymer-polymer complex with hydrophilic core crosslinkers and ahydrophobic network that act as supramolecular capsule. If a largeamount of maleic anhydride groups are present, the secondary aminegroups of polyamine are also protonated and interact with alkylcarboxylates.

According to preferred embodiments, the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is in an oil carrier, and the polyamine compound is in anaqueous carrier, and the reaction occurs by combining the oil carrierand the aqueous carrier. Because the oil-soluble polar modified polymeris typically solid at room temperature, the oil carrier is preferablyheated to liquefy the polymer prior to combination with the aqueouscarrier. Preferably, the oil carrier is heated beyond the melting pointof the oil-soluble polar modified polymer, typically up to about 80° C.,90° C. or 100° C.

Without intending to be bound by any particular theory, it is believedthat the reason for this is that due to the chemical and physicalreactions which take place when the oil-soluble polar modified polymeris combined with the polyamine, the subsequent reaction product that isformed is surprisingly and unexpectedly able to entrap large amounts ofwater molecules within its hydrophobic matrix. The resultant product iseminently capable of forming a film, is self-emulsifying, waterproof.Moreover, the product is both stable and capable of carrying varioustypes of ingredients. Similarly, according to preferred embodiments ofthe present invention, the reaction of the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer and polyol in an anhydrous system (oil phase only) can create areaction product. Without intending to be bound by any particulartheory, it is believe that the reaction product of the oil-soluble polarmodified polymer and the hyperbranched polyol is an elastomer-typecompound having ester linkages which can swell in polar solvents or candisperse into the water phase.

Water

The composition of the present invention also contains water. The wateris typically present in an amount of from about 5% to about 50% byweight, such as from about 10% to about 40% by weight, such as fromabout 25% to about 35% by weight, including all ranges and subrangestherebetween, all weights being based on the total weight of thecomposition. According to particularly preferred embodiments, sufficientwater is present to form a water-in-oil emulsion. According to preferredembodiments of the present invention, the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is reacted with the sugar silicone surfactant, in the presenceof water in, at minimum, an amount sufficient to fully dissolve thesugar silicone surfactant. In accordance with this embodiment, such aproduct is water-insoluble.

Oil Mixture

According to preferred embodiments, the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is in an oil carrier, and the sugar silicone surfactant can bein an oil phase or water phase. Because the oil-soluble polar modifiedpolymer is typically solid at room temperature, the oil carrier ispreferably heated to liquefy the polymer prior to combination with theaqueous carrier. Preferably, the oil carrier is heated beyond themelting point of the oil-soluble polar modified polymer, typically up toabout 80° C., 90° C. or 100° C.

Optional Ingredients Gelling Agent

It may be desirable to employ an additional gelling agent, other thancellulose and derivatives thereof. Examples of such other gelling agentsinclude:
